Bridgeport

Long Island Sound defines the setting of Bridgeport — its sheltered harbour and waterfront have long tied Connecticut’s largest city to coastal trade, industry and recreation. The Pequonnock River runs through the city to the Sound, while Seaside Park extends along the shore on grounds designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Bridgeport grew rapidly as a manufacturing centre in the 19th century and remains closely associated with showman P. T. Barnum; the Barnum Museum stands on Main Street. Rail connections, a working port and diverse neighbourhoods give the city a distinctly urban character beside Fairfield County’s smaller shoreline communities.
